Set Contains: Storage controller Review: Genuine Broadcom/LSI, works well, old firmware. - Your typical HBA, works well, runs hot. Comes in IT mode but plan on flashing the firmware if you want it to work in a UEFI setting (easy to do, surprisingly tough to find the firmware! Search Google and use the 45 drives result). Keep a small fan pointed at it or ensure your case has PLENTY of airflow. Review: Good for Proxmox and TrueNAS use - Works great for my Qty 8 Exos 18TB dual-actuator SAS drives, plugged into a B550 / 5950x system, running Proxmox 8.4 hypervisor with the SAS card passed-thru to my TrueNAS Electric Eel instance. The card probably lives a very simple life with only spindle drives connected, but they easily move almost 2GBytes/sec when sending purely linear streaming writes. ## Features - Interface: SAS 12Gb/s - Data Transfer Rate: 1.2 GBps - 8 Channel - Bus Type: PCIe 3.0 x8 - Achieve more than 1.5 million IOPS for performance-sensitive applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01BDZWJAO | | Best Sellers Rank | #8 in RAID Controllers | | Brand | Broadcom | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (35) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00830343007226 | | Hardware Interface | PCI Express x8 | | Item Type Name | BROADCOM 05-25703-00 8 Channel SAS 9305-16i Storage Controller - Multi-Colour | | Item Weight | 0.45 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | LSI | | Model Number | 05-25703-00 | | Operating System | Linux | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 830343007226 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Broadcom - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Hardware Interface:** PCI Express x8 - **Item Weight:** 0.45 Kilograms - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![05-25703-00 8 Channel SAS 9305-16i Storage Controller - Multi-Colour - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hHqMUlFJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Genuine Broadcom/LSI, works well, old firmware. *by S***O on December 12, 2025* Your typical HBA, works well, runs hot.
